Italian referee kicked on his head
Italian news website MNews reports that a referee has been kicked on his head. It’s not a pitch invasion like I posted last week, but this seems a serious violent offence against the referee.
Check out the video below. Sad to see this referee hobbling slowly of the pitch after “being kicked on the head”, according to Italian news website Mnews. The teams Melito di Porto Salvo and Santo Stefano d’Aspromonte you were playing the game. The score was 5-3 at the moment of the incident.
My Italian is not good (status: can understand texts only with Google Translate), so maybe my Italian followers could tell what the Italian FA does after such incidents when a referee is kicked on his head.

Can’t see the ARs at all. I wonder how the incident played out. Was the referee on the ground when this happened?

The people responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law so as to ensure that this kind of behaviour does not happen again

I’m keeping an eye on it with search and alerts. My Italian is not good, but hope that works well, so I can tell you what the Italian FA (FIGC) has decided.
